(Actual Run Briefing)
Mr Yip Hoe Yin & Mr David Lau
(HOD/ICT) (SH/Science)
Objectives of Streaming
to determine subject combinations for Upper Secondary
based on the student’s personal interest, aptitude and ability in various subjects, and future aspirations & goals.
•Core subjects - English, Math, Science, Humanities
•Criteria for applications to Junior College (L1R5),
Polytechnics (L1R2B2) and ITE
•Relevant subjects to face future challenges, new JC
curriculum (H1, H2, H3)
•Students’ interest and ability in different subject
combinations (preference survey carried out)
Considerations for Sec 3 Subject Combinations
•Wide choice of subject combinations offered. Each subject combination has its own merit.
•Exercise option only after end-of-year exam, and knowing overall exam results
•Number of classes for a subject combination is not fixed. Classes will be opened only if there are sufficient students with the ability and interest who opt for it, and based on availability of school resources including availability of subject teachers
